Senegalese striker Nicolas Jackson will make his Bayern Munich debut against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday, marking his first appearance since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations.
Jackson has been named in the starting lineup by Bayern manager Vincent Kompany as the German club travels to the Netherlands for their final group stage match.
The Senegal forward, who has already scored twice in this season’s Champions League, will lead the Bavarian attack once again.
The 21-year-old joins a Bayern squad seeking a positive finish to the group stage. His inclusion provides both attacking firepower and a chance for the team to continue building momentum after recent domestic and continental fixtures.
Jackson’s goal-scoring form this season mirrors his contributions at the Africa Cup of Nations, where he also found the net twice for Senegal in Morocco.
This match also presents an opportunity for fans to see Ismael Saibari in action, following his return to Bayern after international duty.
The Belgian-Moroccan midfielder is expected to contribute to the team’s creative play in midfield as they look to secure a crucial victory away from home.
Bayern’s performance in Eindhoven could be decisive for their progression in the Champions League, depending on other results in the group.
With Jackson leading the attack, the team will aim to convert their attacking potential into goals while maintaining defensive stability against a PSV side known for its fast, dynamic style.
For Jackson, the fixture represents both a personal milestone and a chance to demonstrate his readiness for top-level European competition after a brief hiatus for international duty.
His debut could also signal a growing role within Kompany’s plans as Bayern look to balance squad rotation with their ambition of progressing in the Champions League.
As the teams prepare for kick-off at 8:00 PM GMT, all eyes will be on Jackson’s impact and Bayern’s ability to secure a crucial result in the final group stage match.
